IN BRIEF AND TO THE POINT.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American PEG,
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

Knows How 1t Feels.

Judge Thomas Orr, lately elected
to grace the bench in Texarkana. Ar
kansas, is looked upon with much re-
spect among us, said traveller from
the town named. you see the Judge
has been hung and when he sentences
a man to death will know what he is
doing. 1t was not long after the war
that the. Judge had his hempen expe-
rience. He had some sort of misun-
derstanding with the guerilla Baker,
who got q company of desperadoes
around him and roamed about this
part of the country for a time after
the war ended. Baker and his band
caught Orr one morning and escorted
him with all honors to small grove
few miles south of the town. Then
they selected a tree, not too large and
with easy climbing to the first limb,
and to that limb they hung Orr and
rode away. The man at the end of
the rope forgot all about things for
long time. When he awoke he was
lying upon the damp grass, and with
the greatest pain in his neck and head
that he had ever experienced. A man
who came into Texarkana that morn
ing said he had cut a body down
hanging in a grove. The party that
went out 10 see who it was that had
been lynched met Orr crawling in.
The fellow who cut him down must
have come along few moments after
the lynchers left in the morling. Sub
sequently the State offered SIC, 200 for
Bakers capture, not on account of
this, but because of other exploits of
his. He came into Texarkana one
night to visit sweetheart and went to
sleep in dooryard. He never woke,
and when public attention was called
to the body it was found to be very
full of buckshOt His head was taken
to jefferson and the promised reward
was paid. The man who got the &c.
900 was named Orr

minutes afterward Da Costa saw one
of the brutes seize the poor woman,
who vainly struggled few moments

GordOn's Bible.

In one of the great picture galleries
at Windsor Castle are several precious
caskets, among other exquisite objects
de vertu. The Queen entered one day
with a small book in her hand and
asked the keeper of these treasures
which was the most rare and valuable
of all the caskets. He showed her one
made of pure rock crystal, ornamented
with gold and enamel. In this casket
the Queen placed the small book
General Gordon'S pocket Bible, an

and in this precious casket will remain
this most precious relic of one of Eng.

The Correct Position for waltxin0.

From the y. !. Sun, Sept Is.
AT the session OF the Dancing Masters conven-
ton, hedyesterday afternoon, the correct position
for Waiting was defined 1t was decided that the
gentleman should hold the lady with his right
forearm, placing his hand fiat against the back.
No part Of his arm abovethe elbow should come in
contact with her body. The ladys left hand
should rest upon the genlleman'S arm about
inches from the shoulder. Her right arm should
be held out perfectly straight at angle OF about
- degree from the body. Her right hand should
rest in the gentleman's palm with the knuckles
uppermost IL Is necessary that the lady shall not
bend her right elbow, otherwise they will fail to
give the mutual support which Is requisite Of
good dancing.
